It is St. Paddy’s Week on Plaid and Paleo! Ever since my college best friend studied abroad in Ireland, I’ve been equally as obsessed with St. Paddy’s Day. I think my love of whiskey pairs perfectly with this “holiday.” I know, I know. Whiskey is not paleo, but ya know every once in awhile a…

Paleo Chocolate Raspberry Jellies
I have to say it. I am not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either. I have too many “favorite” holidays, and Valentines simply doesn’t make the cut. For me there is too much hype. Too much pressure for it to be an amazing day. I…
Paleo Dark Chocolate Cherry Bites
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Mine was full of family, food and festivities. Okay I just threw in that last one to keep with the trend. It really should be family, food and naps. I don’t know why but whenever my family gets together 2PM becomes nap time. I’m not even a…
Double Chocolate Pumpkin Mug Cake
I wish I never learned to make a mug cake. Since I stumbled upon PaleOMG’s mug cake recipe a couple weeks ago, I’ve had to exhibit extreme self-control not to make one every day. I can’t say I have the best self-restraint. I’ve made four mug cakes in two weeks. Whoops. I don’t recommend making…
Paleo Almond Joy Bites
It is almost Halloween! I actually didn’t really get into halloween until college. I know I know. You are thinking scantily clad outfits. I actually take a lot of pride in making most of my costumes. I typically only spend about $10 on supplies. I probably have more fun thinking of an original costume and…
Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Two desserts in three days! Well my sweet tooth has struck again, and I am struggling to put it back in its box. I completely forgot to mention I went to Danielle from Against All Grain’s cooking demo and book signing this past weekend. Her journey is so amazing and inspirational, and she could not…
Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Granola
Even though this was technically a “short” week, it dragged by. I went downtown to get lunch with my friend. After I attempted to see some of my favorite locations from the movie 500 Days of Summer, only to find out the infamous park bench was closed! How does a park that small close?! I’m…
Paleo Mocha Chip Pancakes with Espresso Syrup
I go in waves of being a morning person. Sometimes I will pop out of bed at 7-7:30 bright eyed and ready for the day. Then there are days when I can barely crawl out of bed by 9AM. To get by I rely on coffee. I’m a coffee addict. Maybe coffee isn’t the best…
Paleo Rainer Cherry and Dark Chocolate Ice Cream
One of my favorite former treats was ice cream. I used to justify eating a whole pint because it was “low fat.” I would eat a pint for dinner without a second thought. It was bad. After making my blackberry rosewater ice cream, I couldn’t wait to make another variety! I like cherries, but I…
Paleo Dark Chocolate Salted Almond Bites
So this week I had an intense chocolate craving and needed a fix asap. Normally I have an apple on hand to help with my sugar addiction. Unfortunately I had just ran out. There is a bakery a block from my apartment, and it was very tempting to go pick up a delicious brownie. I…
Paleo Almond Butter Cupcakes with Chocolate Almond Butter Frosting
Birthdays on top of birthdays on top of birthdays. With the recent birth of my first nephew, my family now has three birthdays in July. I love celebrating birthdays and buying gifts for others. As a treat for my nieces, I whipped up a batch of Paleo cupcakes. The girls gobbled them up. I really…
Paleo No-Bake Cookies
I don’t make too many Paleo treats, but every once in awhile I love to indulge. I am a recovering sugar addict mainly from cupcakes and ice cream, but I love a good cookie. When I first went on Paleo, I didn’t make treats because I wanted to dive head first into eating healthy. As…
